Liberian Court Investigates Foundation of Weah's Wife

A court has ordered the Clar Hope Foundation, owned by former First Lady Clar Marie Weah, to surrender its administrative and financial records concerning the construction of the foundation's massive complex outside Monrovia.

The order follows a request from the government's Assets Recovery and Property Retrieval Task Force (AREPT), which is investigating allegations that illicit funds were used to finance the sprawling facility - a claim the former first lady has denied.

The move is expected to worsen political tensions between the ruling Unity Party and allies of former President George Manneh Weah, who have accused President Joseph Boakai's administration of selective justice and political persecution.
